It's My Party (And I'll Die If I Want To) at QUT Gardens Theatre

Gruff, well-ordered, quintessentially Aussie family man Ron is convinced he is dying. In a magnanimous gesture of loving finality, he hosts a party, giving his wife and children the chance to spend a few last quality moments as a family. The gathering brings about some urgent confessions, a surprise 'wedding', and a visit from the undertaker. As the minutes tick away, Ron's party schedule unravels to reveal a dysfunctional family unit that is both outlandishly bizarre and utterly recognisable.

Henri Szeps (Mother and Son, Halpern & Johnson) returns to the Gardens Theatre stage in this black and deliciously funny story.
